Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said that he wasn’t ruling out possibly challenging President Donald Trump in the 2020 Republican presidential primary during an interview with CNN on Friday.

CNN’s Poppy Harlow asked Flake whether he would run for president in 2020.

“I’ve been on record many times saying that I hope that a Republican runs in the primary against the president. I think that Republicans need to be reminded what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent,” Flake said.

Harlow followed up by asking Flake what the chances are that he would be that Republican.

“I’d prefer it be somebody else, but I’m not ruling it out,” Flake said.
